PROPOSED GRANT AWARD
Department: Cook County Justice Advisory Council
Grantee: Cook County Justice Advisory Council
Grantor: Illinois Department of Human Services
Request: Authorization to accept grant
Purpose: The purpose of the grant is to fund an exploratory analysis of youth from Chicago committed to IDJJ by the Cook County Juvenile Court.
Grant Amount: $24,500.00
Grant Period: 9/15/2014 - 6/30/2015
Fiscal Impact: N/A
Accounts: N/A
Concurrences: The Budget Department has received all requisite documents and determined the fiscal impact on Cook County, if any.
Summary: The JAC proposes to conduct an in-depth analysis of youth from Chicago committed to DJJ by the Cook County Juvenile Court.

Combined these data sets will give a more complete picture of youths’ progression through the system, recidivism, history of separation from family and initial insight into dispositional data.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CROSS RAIL CHICAGO
WHEREAS, Cook County is the financial, business and culture capital of the Midwest, bringing in millions of tourists and visitors every year; and
WHEREAS, Cook County is in the midst of preparing its first Long Range Transportation Plan in more than 70 years - a multimodal blueprint that will highlight the critical importance of improved and expanded public transportation services to maintaining Cook County’s economic vitality and accommodating increases in population, businesses and jobs; and
WHEREAS, improved and expanded passenger train service is essential to maintain Cook County’s economic vitality and allow for increased growth and prosperity; and
WHEREAS, a new initiative for first-class passenger rail service called CrossRail Chicago has emerged which would, for the first time, connect Metra route lines together, knitting together the Chicagoland region; and
WHEREAS, Metra and Amtrak services bring in millions of people to Cook County and serve hundreds of thousands of Cook County residents, but suffer from one fundamental flaw: all trains terminate in downtown Chicago and do not travel through downtown Chicago, making regional travel on a train less efficient and less attractive; and
WHEREAS, most of the Metra stations are stub stations where all tracks end and therefore do not allow for crosstown service; there are two existing tracks at Union Station along the river that travel through the station, connecting northbound and southbound service which also could be used for crosstown service; and
WHEREAS, a 16th Street connector track exists which could allow for Metra Electric and Rock Island trains to connect to Union Station then travel west, northwest and north, directly connecting the Southland with the rest of Northeast Illinois; and
WHEREAS, Cook County residents of high unemployment areas do not have easy transportation access to areas with job surplus, such as between the area of O'Hare/northwest suburbs and the high unemployment areas of the south side and the south suburbs; and
Page 14 of 102
Board of Commissioners BOARD AGENDA September 10, 2014
WHEREAS, Cook County's largest transportation asset - O'Hare Airport - is not currently served well by Metra and not served at all by Amtrak, leaving a major gap in Cook County's transportation network; and
WHEREAS, the Chicago Department of Aviation’s new consolidated rental car facility built directly adjacent to a Rosemont Metra station known as the O'Hare Transfer Station will provide a once-in-a-generation opportunity to connect Metra and Amtrak service directly to O'Hare, opening up job opportunities for the entire region; and
WHEREAS, both the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Michigan Department of Transportation are currently working on plans for faster Amtrak service into Cook County, however, these projects need to be coordinated to ensure these investments work together to provide the best possible service for Cook County; and
WHEREAS, much like CREATE did for freight railroads, CrossRail Chicago, if implemented, would combine multiple commuter and intercity rail projects already in various stages of planning into a coordinated program where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts;
WHEREAS, the Cook County Long Range Transportation Plan will seek to ensure that transportation investments are part of a plan for prosperity, and that vision also includes agencies from outside of Cook County, especially Amtrak and Metra, to build and provide first-class passenger train service; and
WHEREAS, there is a gap in coordination for passenger rail projects throughout the region to ensure that Cook County is part of a Midwest-wide process of building crosstown rail service.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Cook County Board of Commissioners supports CrossRail Chicago and its inclusion in the region's capital plans including those of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Regional Transportation Authority and Metra; and

PROPOSED MISCELLANEOUS ITEM OF BUSINESS
Department: Department of Risk Management
Other Part(ies): Insurance Liquidations Investors, L.L.C., San Francisco, CA
Request: Authorization for the County of Cook County (“County”) to enter into an agreement to assign and transfer the County’s claims against Reliance Insurance Company in Liquidation to Insurance Liquidations Investors, L.L.C., for the amount of $976,834.07.
Summary: Reliance Insurance Company (“Reliance”) provided general liability and workers’ compensation coverage during the construction of the John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital. As a result of Reliance’s liquidation, the County became responsible for funding existing and new general liability and workers’ compensation claims. The County had submitted documentation to the Reliance Liquidator for reimbursement based on the assets available from Reliance’s Estate. The County has recovered approximately 40% of the County’s General Liability claims; the last payment to the County occurred in 2011. The Department of Risk Management, in consultation with the Office of the Chief Financial Officer and the State’s Attorney’s Office, determined that pursuing the assignment of these claims in return for payment was a prudent and an expeditious method for resolving the uncertainty and speculative nature surrounding the timing and amount of any future payments. As a result of this agreement, the County will receive $976,834.07 or approximately 55.8% of the outstanding claims yielding a total recovery of almost 74%. If approved, this item will authorize the County Comptroller and Director of Risk Management to assign and transfer the County’s claims against Reliance Insurance Company in Liquidation to Insurance Liquidations Investors, LLC for the amount of $976,834.07.
This agreement to assign and transfer the County’s claims has been reviewed and approved by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Purpose: This project provides funding for Cook County, Illinois Coalition to inventory, characterize, assess, conduct cleanup planning, and community involvement related activities for brownfields sites in Cook County, Illinois area.

Summary: Cook County, in along with seven municipal partners (Bellwood, Forest Park, Franklin Park, Melrose Park, Maywood, Northlake, and Schiller Park) will assist in the environmental assessment and eventual redevelopment of potentially contaminated properties within the coalition area. The Center for Neighborhood Technology identified at least 87 vacant, abandoned or underused sites in these seven communities. The EPA grant will help fund an environmental assessment of these sites, focusing on contamination stemming from bulk petroleum storage and other hazardous materials. The funding is distributed through the EPA Brownfields Program, which cleans up and reinvests in sites that are contaminated-or perceived to be so-and have limited redevelopment potential because of potential liability.

Summary: This contract is for a major replacement of the fire suppression systems at the locations listed below. The existing Halon Suppression Systems at these facilities are outdated and obsolete. The systems require upgrading as the obsolete components require replacement parts that are no longer being manufactured. New codes and standards have been created since these systems were installed. The Halon Suppression Systems were employed over 17 years ago to provide a means of fire suppression, primarily in rooms with high-value electronic equipment. Since their installation, Halon Suppression Systems have been identified as an ozone depletion chemical and are no longer available for recharging the existing systems. Reconfiguration of spaces in the facilities also means adjustments and/or correction of systems so that all fire alarm and supervisory alarm signals are accurately indicated on the control panels.
The system shall be completely functional. It shall include mechanical and electrical installation, all detection and control equipment, agent and storage containers, discharge nozzles, pipe and fittings, manual release and abort stations, audible and visual alarm devices, auxiliary devices and controls, shutdowns, alarm interface, and advisory signs, and testing of a functional UL listed SAPPHIRE Clean Agent Suppression System. Request for Proposals (RFP) procedures were followed in accordance with Cook County Procurement Code. Rolf Jensen & Associates, Inc. is recommended for the Countywide

The Gordian Group’s fee for the services provided is assessed as a percentage of the value of construction procured by the County through the JOC program. The increase requested through this amendment was calculated by the applying The Gordian Group’s percent fee against the total value of construction that is available to be purchased by the County through its JOC contracts. The County is under no obligation to expend the amount requested, and is only obligated to pay The Gordian Group’s fee when the construction work is procured through the JOC program. This amendment will allow the County to utilize the remaining capacity on the JOC contracts during the contract term.

PROPOSED RECONSIDERATION OF PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ITEM AND REQUEST TO APPROVE AS AMENDED
Department: The Office of Capital Planning and Policy, the Department of Facilities Management, the Department of Transportation and Highways and the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer.
Request: Amend the authorization amount for various contracts awarded for the Countywide Job Order Contract (JOC) Program. JOC is a quantity based procurement process that allows facility owners to complete a multitude of repair/maintenance and construction project with a single, competitively bid contract. The JOC process involved first selecting a vendor pool of potential contractors through a competitive procurement process, and identifying projects for such selected vendors. The contractors were found to be the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder through a competitive bid process in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code.
On 3/20/2013, The Board of Commissioners approved contracts with the selected contractors listed below for the Countywide Job Order Contracting (JOC) Program. The contractors selected under this contract replaced those contractors providing services under the prior City of Chicago contract, which was a comparable government procurement in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. The contracts are a two (2) year base term with two (2) one-year renewal options from the date of execution; 3/20/2013 to 3/19/2015.

Board of Commissioners BOARD AGENDA September 10, 2014
Request: Authorization to increase the CDBG Disaster Grant that was originally awarded on 12/23/2013 and accepted by the Board
Purpose: Disaster Relief from flooding in April/May, 2013
Supplemental Grant Amount: $54,900,000.00
Grant Period: 12/23/2013 - 9/30/2019
Extension Period: 12/23/2013 - 9/30/2019
Fiscal Impact: N/A
Accounts: N/A
Date of Previous Board Authorization for Grant: 3/12/2014
Previous Grant Amount: $13,900,000.00
Concurrences: The Budget Department has received all requisite documents and determined the fiscal impact on Cook County, if any.
Summary: Transmitted herewith is a request for the approval to accept a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant of Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds in response to disasters occurring in 2013, authorized under the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013. The purpose of the CDBG-DR program is to assist targeted areas that have been affected by a natural disaster (in this case, severe storms and flooding during the period of 4/16/2013 to 5/5/2013). The program will provide necessary expenses related to disaster relief, long-term recovery, restoration of infrastructure and housing, and economic revitalization in the most impacted and distressed areas resulting from a major disaster declared pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and emergency Assistance Act of 1974 (Stafford Act). Cook County was initially allocated $13.9 million, which was accepted by the Cook County Board of Commissioners in 3/12/2014. Subsequent to the initial allocation, Cook County was awarded an additional $54.9 million, bringing the total grant amount to $68.8 million. The Cook County Department of Planning and Development met with or consulted studies done by the Cook County Departments of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Environmental Control, and Transportation and Highways, the Cook County Forest Preserve District, the Illinois and Federal Emergency Management Agencies (IEMA and FEMA, respectively), the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as well as municipal and township leaders to discuss areas that were most affected by the 2013 disaster and important projects that need to be done.
The Department of Planning and Development desires to fund projects that strategically assist with the recovery efforts and support other investments which are occurring in the area. Cook County plans to enter into CDBG-DR agreements with municipalities, townships, for-profit and non-profit entities to implement CDBG-DR activities or to directly implement activities.

Board of Commissioners BOARD AGENDA September 10, 2014
Approval of the additional grant is being respectfully requested and that the Chief of the Bureau of Economic Development or his designee be authorized to execute on behalf of the County of Cook, any and all documents necessary to facilitate administration of the program approved here in, including but not limited to the CDBG-DR grant agreement and any modifications thereto. The approval of this of the Program by this Honorable Body will permit the CDBG-DR program to continue its forward progress.

WHEREAS, the Electing Municipalities are choosing to join the Consortium, as signified by resolution of their municipal boards; and
WHEREAS, each Electing Municipality must conform to the Consortium Program Year, which runs October 1 through September 30 in accordance with HUD rules; and
WHEREAS, as the Electing Municipalities move to the Consortium Program Year they may experience a gap in their administrative funding for the few months after their old program year expires and before the Consortium Program Year begins. (i.e., if their current program year ends on June 30 there is a three month gap before the new program year starts on October 1); and
WHEREAS, the County wants to maximize its federal allocation of HOME Funds by including the Electing Municipalities in the Consortium. The County’s HOME Investment Partnerships Program could see up to a $534,000 increase over three years by adding the populations of the Electing Municipalities into the formula for calculating the grant amount; and
WHEREAS, to facilitate the addition of the Electing Municipalities to the Consortium, the County will provide the financing for the loss in administrative funding and program funding that is needed to align the program years in each Electing Municipality; and

WHEREAS, HUD requires that the Cook County Board of Commissioners act by resolution to add the new entitlement communities into the HOME Consortium.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the President and the Board of Commissioners of the County of Cook, Illinois:
Section 1: That the County will set aside a fund of no more than $10,000 in non-federal dollars to be used to fund the administrative costs incurred by the Electing Municipalities for periods not funded, within a three year period, due to the alignment of the program years of the Electing Municipalities with the Consortium Program Year in accordance with HUD requirements.
Section 2: That the County be and is hereby authorized to enter into an Addendum to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program Consortium Agreement for Federal Fiscal Years 2015, 2016, and 2017 to add the Electing Municipalities and that the President, Bureau Chief of Economic Development or the County Clerk are hereby authorized to execute said HOME Investment Partnerships Program Consortium Agreement Addendums, Memorandums of Understanding, and any additional documents necessary to further the aforementioned initiative, and any modifications thereto.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That this Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and approval as provided by law.
